I desperately want someone to make a guide that shows baby plant vs grown plant bc the guesswork is soooo frustrating šŸ˜‚

Also, the people that fire the managed prairie didn’t do the sections that touch my yard this year. We never really had a day when the wind was low enough. Which means I have to cut and pull the dead stuff.

I can’t wait until the baby plants are big enough to hold their own, then I’ll happily let it be a hot mess, but right now they need breathing room to compete. The most difficult bit is if you want spread of things like prairie spring ephemerals you really can’t mulch.

My beds are 4-6ft wide & around 300ft long. They edge 2 sides of my backyard to disguise my fence & they back up to semi natural managed prairie. They’re planted with spp & fun varietals of local native shrubs & perennials, as well as whatever the prairie volunteers.

I’m sad she didn’t mention ichthammol ointment - my mother’s go to for drawing splinters.

My corgi mostly gets upset watching emotional documentaries. My spaniel hates the live action Jungle Book. Neither of them care about dinosaurs, but we had dinosaurs in heavy rotation during their puppyhoods.

Its taken me a long time to realize people deny hating anyone because they believe hate is an emotion not an action. I don't hate anyone because I am in control. If you disrupt my control you're an agitator. If I lose control I was provoked. My need to control you is not hate. Rinse and repeat.

I'd also like to see the Venn diagram between those screaming at older Dem electeds for not retiring and those who chose not to vote for Hillary in 2016 and/or Kamala last year. Because if a few hundred thousand more had voted for either one, the issue wouldn't be nearly as dire as it is now.

Having a family you trust to watch your dog is such a wonderful thing. My dogs adore our friend who stays with them & do cute shit with her they don’t do with us, but they’re always happy to see us come home😁

It looks like walnuts or pecans with honey? I am intrigued!

Lake Lanier is reputedly haunted and has a high rate of drownings, boating accidents. People often attribute the drownings to the flooding of Black towns/graveyards to create the lake.

I have a personality disorder, but I’m also extremely lazy, so I am unlikely to participate in group activities.

White suburbanite, and I think I learned about Till in middle school, but I don’t know if that was in school or just because I was reading widely. I didn’t see the pictures until my 20s though.

The complaint about the phrase ā€œtoxic masculinityā€ is a classic reversal of victim and offender: the moral emergency is not the sexist violence and degradation that women are complaining about, but the way that overhearing their complaints makes men feel.

I wasn’t sure how it would hit with my child (white teen boy slasher fan). He was the one who knew to stay through the credits. AND he said ā€œit was the best movie I’ve seen in my lifeā€. It’s a phenomenal film.
